I had to ask myself a question: What is it I like about closet safes? Well, I like their versatility–I can use one as a cover, as a padded hanger, and for its original intention. They are soft, lovely to handle, and made from vintage pieces. And I especially like their little “secret”–a pocket inside to store things. They also look good on a wooden hanger and in a closet. I think I’ll make a few more of these.

Sharing is Caring

Aunt Mayme (pronounced "May-me") is the name for a maternal aunt who let me play in her attic on special occasions. The only thing I looked at was an old trunk with all kinds of embroidered linens inside. Not knowing who created these lovelies, (I suspected it was either her or my grandmother who died before I was born) I made the decision not to let beautiful vintage linens remain in a trunk, only to be eventually tossed in a landfill. So, Aunt Mayme's Attic was born to incorporate vintage linens in modern and functional items.
